This solution will walk you through how to connect your computer to your printer. This only applies for the XL and HD series printers.

MAC: If you have a Mac, it will automatically find and install the driver. If you use Repetier-Host as your printer control software, you will need to go to the printer settings and set the "Baud Rate" to "250,000" in order to communicate with the printer.

PC: If you have a PC, you will need to install the RAMBo driver manually using the steps below. Windows 8 and 8.1 will need to start at step 1. Windows 7 and previous versions can start at step 7.
